THE RBsT OF THE TRIP.

stated that the Presidents train, which
is expected to leave Montgomery to-
morrow at O'Clock, will make no stops
on its way to Washington, except posi-
bly, at AshVille,EN. c., where it may tarry
fifteen minutes. A statement to the con-
trary has been made with regard to
many places, and people who may be
brought together by such announcement
will be disappointed. The train will
slow up as heretofore wherever people
are gatheredto see the President, but the
public demonstration of the trip will pos
itively end Tomorrow with the possible
exception named The principal event

THE CROWDS AT ATLANTA.
ATLANTA, GA Oct. - -Notwithstsnd-
ing the pleasant experience of President
and Mrs. Cleveland, there are indications
on every hand that Atlanta has under
taken more than she can creditably carry
out. A bed tonight is worth princes
ransom, and many man and woman
accustomed to all the Iuxuries of life find
| it difficult to meet the demands of the
present hunger. Even some of the in
vited guests from other states have re-
manned uncared for until taken in charge
by chance acquaintance.
A local paper is authority for the state
ment that the Confederate flag IS
among the decoration of the town.
at No. II Wheat street floats in the
breeza the red, white and blue, with the
thirteen stars, that emblem Of the dead
| Confederacy. Some kind hand decorated
the picture of the great Chieftain, Hon.
JET Davis, with the Confederate colors.
Old soldiers when they pass by take of
their hats and in their hearts al south
erners do him reverence.
Last night, not long after the arrival of
the President ct his rooms in the hotel,
a ferocous parsonage approached the
door and being denied admission by q
sentinel laced there by the Governors
order, said in tone apparently intended
to be heard by the President,
"I wish you would inform Mr..
Cleveland tnat il Georgians are to be
barred out from shaking hands with the
President of the United States by sabres
at his chamber, by God, sir, he had better
go back to Washington. JEFF Davis will
be here next week and there will be no
sabres between him and the gentleman Of
Georgia" II an affront was intended the
purpose failed, for the President did not
hear it. The matter has got abroad to-
night and the uttersnce is condemned as
that of man who was momentarily IRE
sponsible.
Minister LAYTON teIegraphed the Presi
dent to-day from Vienna as fellows
"From this distance 1 welcome you t.
Georgia."
